Are you ready to face the truth - II ?

Dear readers,

I have been thinking of writing the Part II of my article "Are you ready to face the Truth" for quite sometime now.

Today seemed just fine to do it.

In the part I for this series in March, 2007 I had mentioned about some dates. I will carry on from where I had left.

All views expressed in this article are just mine and need not be believed by you. I hold no authority in any matter of spiritual or religious origin and in fact have minuscule understanding of religious, spiritual, astrological and metaphysical matters compared to many knowledgeable souls around.

Again, as I had stated earlier in part I of this series, there is no copyright on this material and you are free to reproduce this article anywhere and copy any part of this article. You absolutely don't need to cite this blog reference or my name as the author for this article when you produce it.


Rudra
Rudra is responsible for cleaning up the stage for any new beginning. Here it is important to see Rudra as an aspect and not as a deity. Rudra as an aspect can be studied in us with the help of a tool called as astrology. In astrology, Rudra aspect is depicted by Mars. Hence for any major calamity Mars becomes an important factor. Lets hold on to this truth and I will come back to this when I try to tie all the strings together.

New Moon (Lunar Cycles)
Every time a mass destruction has taken place on Earth, it was more or less near a New Moon cycle. Recently they showed a program in the History channel where statistical study had shown that crime rates rise during Full Moon and New Moon nights.

Astronomy
We all know about the galactic alignment in 2012. However, what we might have to look out for in the night sky is the appearance of any new star (or spot) in the any constellation. We may also have to keep a close watch at NEOs. According to the most accepted theory dinosaurs were wiped out by a comet collision. Is something heading our way too?

Astrology
What does various astrology methods tell us about 2012? What exactly was the long count Mayan Calender based on? Is there any astrological significance to it? These questions if answered can take us closer to the truth.

Religion and Religious texts
Almost every religion has an open promise of the return of a Godly being. Why does religion give this hope to humanity? Is there a reason for this hope?

Common Sense
If the new age or the Golden Age or the end of Time as we know it is to begin on Dec 21, 2012 then how can it happen. How can bad people suddenly change to good people? After all it is the people who make up the society and hence the era. What event can change the most notorious person you know into a good man? Death? or fear of death?
There was this wonderful film I saw called "The Day the Earth stood still" in which it was said that any civilization evolves to the next stage when it is at the "brink of extinction". It is indeed a very thought provoking line. How will the stock market react to extinction of human race or would it have to time to react?

Science and physics
Solar flare activity will be at its maximum in 2012. This is already a known thing to many. What makes it even worse is that NASA has detected a breach in Earth's magnetic field which was detected by NASA and announced to the public on Dec 16, 2008.
Here is the news from the NASA website - It took NASA scientists by surprise!

Now, why am I just throwing questions at you when you are actually expecting answers. Well, even if I know the answers, nothing is going to change the fate of humanity if really something bad is going to happen on Dec 12, 2012 (some even say it is a 2 year date range of Dec 12, 2012 to July 27, 2014).

I think even if we are at the brink of extinction, some of us are still going to think that we should have really taken that home loan! :)

To be Continued in Part III...
